On the ‘two degrees’ policy target

(3 October 2012) ‘On the two degrees policy target’. I have written this short essay (read here: see pp.122-125), explaining why ‘two degrees’ is unhelpful as a policy target, as a contribution to the newly published book edited by Ottmar Edenhofer and colleagues — Climate change, justice and sustainability: linking climate and development policy Springer, Dordrecht, Germany, 380pp.
